in 8vo.; the preface of which displays
considerable learning and ability. He
was encouraged to persevere in his de-
sign by very flattering encomiums of
the greater part of the Right Reverend
Prelates who were then living, particu-
larly of his Diocesans, Dr. Hallifax and
Dr. Beadon, successively Bishops of
Gloucester; and of Dr. Horne, Bishop
of Norwich, who observed to him in a
letter, that he accounted the division of
Merrick's Psalms into stanzas a great
advantage, as it fitted them at once for
regular music.

With an enthusiastic ardour in the
prosecution of this his favourite pursuit,
he adapted several of the most approved
old tunes to Merrick's version; and he
likewise prevailed upon the most emi-
nent composers of his time, viz. his in-
timate friend Sir William Parsons, Dr.
Cooke, Dr. Hayes, Dr. Dupuis, Dr.
Arnold, Dr. Haydn, Dr. Callcott, Mr.
T. Stafford Smith, the Rev. Osborne
Wight, Mr. Stevens, Mr. Shield, Mr.
Webbe, Mr. Worgan, Mr. R. Cooke,
Mr. Broderip, &c. to furnish new com-
positions for a considerable number of
the Psalms. His grateful sense of their
services was evinced by the donation of
a handsome piece of plate to each of
them. In 1795 he published "Im-
proved Psalmody," in three parts, 8vo.
the music printed with types; and sub-
sequently two volumes of Psalms, with
new music, engraved. It must here be
stated, with regret, that he found him-
self so considerably a loser by this un-
dertaking that he was deterred from
completing it.

As Rector of Westbourne, to which
preferment no ecclesiastical duties are
attached, Mr. Tattersall became patron
of the Vicarage, and on a vacancy seve-
ral years ago he presented his friend and
his schoolfellow the Rev. Peter Mona-
my Cornwall, who was his Curate at
Wotton-under-Edge, to that benefice;
on whose demise, in the year 1828, he
presented his own nephew, the Rev.
John Baker, Vicar of Thorp Arch, in
Yorkshire.

Mr. Tattersall married Mary, eldest
daughter of the late George Ward, of
Wandsworth, Esq., who is now living,
by whom he had, 1. Dr. James Tatter-
sall, of Ealing (late of Uxbridge), Fel-
low of the Royal College of Physicians;
2. the late Rev. George Tattersall;
3. John Tattersall, of Wotton-under-
Edge; 4. Mary-Anne; and 5. Jane,
relict of the late Granville Hastings

Wheler, Esq., of Otterden Place, in
Kent. Mr. Tattersall was of a most
hospitable disposition, and his friendly,
social, and agreeable qualities were
highly appreciated, and will be long
remembered by all who knew him. —

TAVEL, the Rev. George Fre-
derick, F.R.S., Rector of Campsey
Ash and Euston, Suffolk; April 26.
1829; in Upper Berkeley Street; aged
57.

This amiable man and accomplished
scholar received his academical educa-
tion at Trinity College, Cambridge,
where he proceeded to the degree of
A.B. in 1792, with the distinguished
honour of being placed Second Wrangler
on the tripos. On this occasion, like-
wise, one of Dr. Smith's prizes to two
commencing Bachelors of Arts, the
best proficients in Mathematics and Na-
tural Philosophy, was awarded him by the
Examiners. In the following year he
was elected a Fellow of his Society;
and in 1795 proceeded to the degree of
A.M. In 1798 and 1800 he was ap-
pointed one of the Moderators; and in
the latter year a Taxor of the University.
Mr. Tavel filled for many years the im-
portant office of Tutor in his College, in
which situation his conduct was exem-
plary; and which afforded him a proper
opportunity for the display of his talents
and his virtues. In 1811 he was pre-
sented by the Society to the Vicarage of
Kellington, in Yorkshire; and in the
same year was married to the Lady
Augusta Fitzroy, the fourth daughter
of his Grace Augustus-Henry, the third
Duke of Grafton, by his second wife
Elizabeth, the daughter of the Rev. Sir
Richard Wrottesley, Bart., and Dean
of Windsor. In 1817 he was presented
to the Rectory of Ash by Campsey in
Suffolk, by Sir R. J. Woodford, Bart.,
on which occasion he vacated the Vicar-
age of Kellington. In 1818 he was
elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.
In 1820 he published" Responsibility
of the Clergy in regard to Doctrine;
a Sermon preached in the Church at
Woodbridge, on Saturday, May 27.
1820, at the Septennial Visitation of the
Bishop of Norwich," 8vo. In 1828 he
was presented by his brother-in-law, the
Duke of Grafton, to the Vicarage of
Euston.

By his wife, Lady Augusta, Mr.
Tavel has left issue an only daughter.

THURLOW, the Right Hon. Ed-

ward Hovel, second Lord of Thurlow
in Suffolk, Patentee of the Bankrupts'
Office, Clerk of the Presentation in the
Petty-bag Office, Clerk of the Hana-
per, and of the Custody of Lunatics
and Idiots, and Registrar of the Dio-
cese of Lincoln; in Regency Square,
Brighton; June 4. 1829; aged 47.

His Lordship was born June 10. 1781,
the elder son of the Right Rev. Thomas
Thurlow, D. D., Bishop of Durham, by
Anne, daughter of Mr. William Beere.
He was educated at the Charter-house,
and afterwards at Magdalen College,
Oxford, where he was created M. A.
July 16. 1801.

In 1806 he succeeded his uncle the
Chancellor as second Lord Thurlow, in
pursuance of a special remainder in the
patent.

Lord Thurlow wrote and published a
large quantity of poetry. We believe
the first which appeared were some son-
nets prefixed to a private edition of
"The Defence of Poesy; the author
Sir Philip Sidney, Knight," 4to. 1810.
They were reprinted in "Verses on se-
veral Occasions," vol. i. 8vo. 1812.

In 1814 appeared, in 4to. his "Moon-
light," a Poem: with several copies of
verses, iu 8vo. "The Doge's Daugh-
ter, a Poem, in two cantos; with several
translations from Anacreon and Ho-
race," dedicated to Lord Chancellor
Eldon. "Ariadne, a Poem, in three
parts," 8vo.; and "Carmen Britanni.
cum, or the Song of Britain, written in
honour of his Royal Highness George
Augustus Frederick, Prince Regent.'

All these were printed in 1814; and
from that time his Lordship appears to
have rested until 1822, when he again
published several small volumes; two
of them were modernised versions of
"Arcita and Palamon, after the excel-
lent poet Geoffrey Chaucer ;" and "The
Knight's Tale, and the Flower and the
Leaf," from the same old English bard.
An original poem under this date is en-
titled "Angelica, or the Rape of Pro-
teus," printed in 12mo.; as was a thin
volume of Poems on several Occasions;
the second edition, several poems being
added." Lord Thurlow had paid great
attention to the elder English poets,
and his Lordship's poetry possessed in
excess one of their faults, that of em-
ploying too great a complication of my-
thological figures and phrases on modern
and inappropriate subjects. In a son-
net to Mr. Gifford, of the Quarterly Re-
view, he has well imitated the nervous

style of the poet which that gentleman
so ably edited the classical Ben Jon-
son. His Lordship generally employed
the Spenserian stanza. From the year
1813 to 1819, he was a very constant
contributor to "The Gentleman's Ma-
gazine."

Lord Thurlow assumed the name of
Hovel in 1814, that having been the
name of the family of his grandmother,
the wife of the Rev. Thomas Thurlow,
Rector of Ashfield. She was the
daughter and at length coheiress of
Robert Smith, who was the male de-
scendant of Richard Hovel, Esquire of
the body to King Henry the Fifth, but
whose more immediate ancestors had
first added the name of Smith to that
of Hovel, and had been called Hovel.
alias Smith, and whose father dropped
the name of Hovel altogether

Lord Thurlow married, November13.
1813, Miss Mary Catherine Bolton, of
Covent Garden Theatre, eldest daughter
of Mr. James Richard Bolton, an at-
torney in Long-acre. By this lady,
who survives him, he had three sons

TOM, Robert Brown, Esq., Captain
R.N.; November 23. 1828; suddenly,
as he was returning from Maker Church,
Plymouth; aged 61.

This gentleman entered the Navy in
1781, as a midshipman on board the
Royal George, a first-rate, bearing the
flag of Sir John Lockhart Ross, Bart.
Commander-in chief on the North Sea
station; from which ship he removed
to the Ocean of 90 guns, and in her
was present at the relief of Gibraltar by
Lord Howe, 1782.

After the peace of 1783, Mr. Tom
successively joined the Assistance 50,
flag-ship of Sir Charles Douglas; This
be 28, Echo 16, Fly 16, Tisiphone
12, and Amphitrite 24; from which
latter ship he was promoted into the
Conflagration fire-vessel, at Toulon, in
November, 1793.

During the operations against Calvi,
Mr. Tom served on shore as a volun-
teer, the Conflagration having been
burnt at the evacuation of Toulon.
From Corsica he returned home pas-
senger in the Aquilon frigate; and he
subsequently served for upwards of five
years as Second Lieutenant of the Poly-
phemus 64, bearing the flag of the late

White." In 1781, when Mr. Turnor
had "just returned from his travels," he
is thus mentioned in a letter of John
Charles Brooke, Somerset Herald*, to
Mr. Gough: By letter from young
Mr. Turnor, of Lincolnshire, the editor
of the Lincolnshire Sheriffs, &c. he de-
sires to know whether your Camden for
Lincolnshire is printed, as he will add
to it." From a subsequent letter it ap-
pears that Mr. Turnor did furnish some
contributions to Mr. Gough's Britannia.
In 1783 he compiled and printed a
neat little pamphlet, entitled "Lon-
don's Gratitude; or, an Account of such
Pieces of Sculpture and Painting as have
been placed in Guildhall at the Expense
of the City of London. To which is
added, a List of those distinguished
Persons to whom the Freedom of the
City has been presented since the year
MDCCLVIII. With engravings of the
Sculptures, &c."

Again, in 1783, Mr. Brooke writes,
"Mr. Turnor called on me on his way
to Lincolnshire from Normandy, but I
did not see him; but have had a letter
from him since, by which I find he has
had some drawings made of antiquities
in that country, which he will bring to
town to show us next year. He is much
delighted with his expedition."

In pursuance of this promise, Mr.
Turnor communicated to the Society of
Antiquaries in the following spring, a
"Description of an ancient Castle at
Rouen in Normandy, called Le Château
du Vieux Palais, built by Henry V. King
of England." This was read before the
Society, April 1. 1784, and, with a fold.
ing plate of two views and a plan of the
castle, is printed in the Archæologia,
vol. vII. pp. 232-235. We find by the
title that Mr. Turnor was elected a
Fellow of the Royal Academy at Rouen.

In 1792 Mr. Turnor communicated to
the Society, as a supplement to the vo-
lume of Household Accounts they had
published, "Extracts from the House-
hold-Book of Thomas Cony, of Bassing-
thorpe, co. Lincoln." These were read,
January 19. 1792, and are printed in
the Archæologia, vol. xi. pp. 22-33.

* Mr. Turnor was an intimate friend
of Mr. Brooke, who alludes to him in
other letters to Mr. Gough; and on Mr.
Brooke's melancholy death in 1794, was
one of the friends who, with the Duke
of Norfolk, the Presidents of the Royal
and Antiquarian Societies, &c. attended
his funeral.

In the Royal Society Mr. Turnor was
associated in 1786; and in 1792 he com-
municated to that learned body "A Nar-
native of the Earthquake felt in Lincoln-
shire, and in the neighbouring Counties,
on the 25th of February, 1792. In a
letter to Sir Joseph Banks." This was
read May 10. 1792, and printed in the
Philosophical Transactions, vol. LXXXII.
pp. 283-288.

In 1793 Mr. Turnor communicated
to Dr. Kippis, for his edition of the
Biographia Britannica" then in pro
gress, a memoirof Sir Richard Fanshawe,
the eminent statesman, negotiator, and
poet, in the reign of Charles the First,
who married the daughter of the Sir
John Harrison before-mentioned. This
article is printed in the fifth volume of
that biographical collection, pp. 661-664.

In 1801 Mr. Turnor furnished the
Society of Antiquaries with some "Re
marks on the Military History of Bristol
in the Seventeenth Century." These
were read June 11. and 18. that year,
and, with a plate giving a plan of the
Outworks, were printed in the Archæo-
logia, vol. xiv. pp. 119-131. Of the gar-
rison of Bristol, Mr. Turnor's ancestor,
afterwards Sir Edmund, was Treasurer
for Charles the First.

At the close of the year 1802, Mr.
Turnor was elected to Parliament for
the borough of Midhurst; but he sat
only until the dissolution in 1806. He
served the office of High Sheriff for
Lincolnshire in 1810.

Having for a considerable time made
the topography of his neighbourhood
his study, in 1806 Mr. Turnor published
the result of his researches in a hand-
some quarto volume, under the title of
"Collections for the History of the
Town and Soke of Grantham; contain-
ing authentic Memoirs of Sir Isaac
Newton; new first published from the
original MSS. in the possession of the
Earl of Portsmouth."

"A Declaration of the Diet and Par-
ticular Fare of King Charles the First,
when Duke of York," was in 1802 com-
municated to the Antiquarian Society by
Mr. Turnor, from a manuscript in vel-
lum, in the possession of his brother-in-
law Sir William Foulis, the descendant
and representative of Sir David Foulis,
the Prince's Cofferer. It is printed in
the Archæologia, vol. xv. pp. 1-12.

We believe Mr, Turnor to have been
the editor of "A Short View of the Pro-
ceedings in the County of Lincoln, for

In 1825 Mr. Turnor furnished the
Antiquaries with an "Account of the
Remains of a Roman Bath near Stoke
in Lincolnshire," printed, with three
plates, in the Archæologia, vol. xxii.
pp. 26-32; and immediately before his
death, he sent an account of some further
similar discoveries in the neighbourhood,
which was noticed in the Report of the
Society's proceedings.

Mr. Turnor acted in the commission
of the peace for the county of Lincoln,
but of late years had ceased to do so. As
he was well versed in the laws of his
country, and was cool, judicious, and
accessible, his retirement from the duties
of a magistrate was a matter of regret
to his neighbourhood. He has been
known to express his dislike of the cha-
racter of an overzealous magistrate, but
no one more exhibited in his own person
the just and useful one.

Mr. Turnor was twice married:
first, to Elizabeth, eldest daughter of
Philip Broke, Esq. of Nacton, Suffolk,
and by her, who died Jan. 21. 1801, he
had one daughter, Elizabeth-Edmunda,
the wife of Frederick Manning, Esq.;
and, secondly, March 22. 1803, to Do-
rothea, third daughter of Lieut.-Colo-
nel Tucker; by whom he had Mary-
Henrietta, who died in 1815 at the age
of eleven; Edmund, who died at Eton
School in 1821, at the age of fourteen*;
Algernon and Sophia, who died infants
in 1807 and 1818: besides five sons
and two daughters, who survive; Chris-
topher, Cecil, Algernon, Henry-Martin,
Philip-Broke, Charlotte, and Harriet.

The remains of Mr. Turnor were in
terred in the family vaultat Stoke Roch-
ford, which was erected in 1801. He
had also built for himself an altar-tomb
in the wall of the chancel, decorated in
front with angels, and divided by Gothic
compartments; and over it a Gothic
arch, ornamented with foliage, roses,
&c.-Gentleman's Magazine.

V.

VAUX, Jeremiah, Esq., formerly

His epitaph and character by his
tutor the Rev. C. S. Hawtrey, were
printed as a leaf to be inserted in the "His-
tory of Grantham," pp. 135-136*.
Another addition which Mr. Turnor
made to the copies of the work in the
libraries of his friends, was a plate of
the tomb of Henry Rochford, Esq.

aged 82.

About eight-and-thirty years ago, Mr.
Vaux and a party of friends, who gene-
rally met at a tavern to discuss the poli-
tics of the day, agreed to have their por-
traits taken (in one group,) for the
encouragement of a young Prussian
artist, then settling at Birmingham, of
the name of Eckstein, who was famed
for the excellence of his likenesses. The
picture was accordingly done at the ex-
pense of twelve of the gentlemen, whose
portraits were admirably executed, after
the manner of Hogarth's celebrated
group of the Modern Midnight Con-
versation, and hung up in the tavern,
there to remain as a tontine, till claimed
by the survivor of the twelve, whose
property it is then to be. The house
was kept by a very worthy tagger of
rhymes, known by the name of "Poet
Freeth: no tavern in the town was held
in higher repute or better frequented,
and many thousands of visitors have been
drawn to the room to see the painting;
as the generality of the gentlemen whose
portraits were drawn, were well known,
being rather of eccentric habits, and all
of them most excellent boon companions
and most social friends, though composed
of High Churchmen and inveterate
Whigs, and differing in their religious
creeds as much or perhaps more than
any dozen of men that ever met in
society.

Mr. Vaux (who was a Quaker) is the
tenth of the group who are now dead.
We believe the average of the ages of the
gentlemen composing the group, when
painted, was about 50; and the only sur-
vivors are Major Wilkes of Birmingham,
and Mr. Bisset, formerly of the Museum
there, but now of Leamington.

Poet Freeth was introduced as one of
the twelve. The tavern is still kept by
his daughter. The picture cost fifty
guineas. - Gentleman's Magazine.
